Trivia test for you…… what is the fastest production Ford 0-60mph?
Click to expand...
Depends..Sixty years ago the AC Cobra was known as the fastest production car in the world. Even today, sixty years later, it's specs are still impressive. That's why I love these cars..

From the November 1965 issue of Car and Driver.

The new one from AC Cars is even faster.

then its not production, fastest ford powered car would be a cosworth F-1 car, but again not production
Numbers for GTD just came out last couple of weeks from ford and the announcement says fastest prodcution car they have ever built.

so that means ford is lying on this one or the one you have lol
now production cars with after market add ons becomes a whole new topic.
 
Ok, so take a look at this then......

Quickest 0-60= 2.1
For 20 plus years the Ford RS200 E2 was the quickest production car in the world and probably Ford’s wildest experiment.

"Driving an RS200 is like being hit in the chest with a 2x4!" , said Swedish race car driver Stig Blomqvist who was speaking of the quick and violent reaction from the turbo boost.

As opposed to every one of the other highly modified production-based cars and engines that were built by other manufacturers, the RS200 was designed from the ground-up as a purpose-built, mid-engined rally-supercar, and the 200 homologation road-legal models were essentially a by-product of Ford wanting to race the RS200 and show off their technology capabilities in the increasingly popular World Rally Championship. It was also designed by engineers who had extensive backgrounds in motorsports.

EVO
For 1987, Ford introduced an "Evolution" variant of the RS200, featuring a redevelopment of the all-aluminum Cosworth BDT which is a DOHC, 16-valve, 4-cylinder, turbo engine, renamed later as BDT-E, displacing 2.1L (130.4 cu in), developed by Briton Brian Hart. Power figures for the engine vary quite a bit from source to source, depending on the boost levels and ranges from 550hp to 815hp; although most typical output was 580hp at 8,000 rpm and 400 lb⋅ft at 5,500 rpm of torque which sent power through a 5-speed to a 4.375:1 rear axle gear. More than a dozen E2's were successfully raced from August 1986 until October 1992 in the FIA European Championships for Rallycross Drivers events all over Europe, and Norwegian Martin Schanche claimed the 1991 European rallycross title with a Ford RS200 E2 that produced over 650hp

The legend of its quickness is attributed to its 0-60mph time which has been documented by the Guinness Book of World Records, but since that time the cars have gone faster with Road & Track posting the quickest time at 2.1 seconds.

+1,200hp
Most recently, with the introduction of new technology in turbo blade design, the Ford RS200 had found a new interest in racing, namely the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. In 2018, rally driver, Liam Doran pushed his over bored 2.4L to a 1.7 second 0-60mph. The Ford RS200 was so fast it ripped the fiberglass skin off its body.

I have seen and read about these cars, wicked cool and fast,
did not know they were that quick, but all wheel drive would make sense.

I have a question, article is a bit tricky,
So is the car they built to go racing the one that did 2.1 seconds
or did all 200 built for homologation have that ability also?
